Hello everyone!

After submitting my pixel art I checked to see how it would turn out. I noticed that the quality of my art submission is much worse than what I originally drew. I saved my art in .PNG format but the quality seems to drop significantly. Can anyone provide me insight as to what I'm doing wrong?

(Extras: I'm using Pixen on a Mac)

Thanks for your time!

Can you give an example? (e.g. screenshot of the work in pixen vs. on PJ). The drop in quality isn't due to blurriness when you zoom is it?

Here is what I'm talking about:

Like Dawn says, it's a problem at your end. I see the art perfectly fine. You might have accidentally ctrl+mousewheeled or whatever.
